If you are weighing the Komodo Airport to Labuan Bajo Town Centre options, think about the last kilometre. Trains and buses stop at stations; hotels are somewhere else.

Every evening the sun sets behind the islands of the park, and grills fire up at the seafood market by the water. Boats for day trips to Padar, Rinca and the snorkelling reefs leave from the harbour, a short walk below the main street.

Why travellers choose Haqqi Tours for Labuan Bajo Town Centre transfers

Haqqi Tours is a travel company, not a taxi app: the people who confirm your Labuan Bajo Town Centre transfer are the same people you can message at midnight when the flight is late.

Pickup options and waiting time

When you book on WhatsApp, you choose one of two pickup options for your arrival:

• Flight tracking: your driver is at arrivals the minute your flight lands and waits for up to 60 minutes. If your flight lands at 2:00 pm, the driver is there at 2:00 pm.
• Fixed time (no tracking): your driver arrives at a time you choose and waits for up to 60 minutes from that time. Send us your flight number and we check its real landing times over the past 10 days to recommend the best pickup time.

At most airports the included waiting time is 60 minutes; at some it is 90 minutes. We confirm the exact waiting time for your airport when you book with us on WhatsApp. After that, the driver cannot wait longer: the fixed price is based on one hour of airport parking and the driver's time, and with more than 30 transfers a day, every booking is scheduled back to back.

With flight tracking, normal delays are covered. If your flight is delayed by more than 5 hours, we cannot guarantee a new pickup at the last minute, because the new arrival time is uncertain and other transfers are already scheduled. Message us as soon as the delay is announced: we always do our best to rearrange, but it depends on the number of bookings that day. With a fixed-time pickup, the time slot is reserved for you and cannot be changed on the day, even if your flight is delayed or something unexpected happens.

Two hours before your flight lands, we send you your driver's name and phone number on WhatsApp. If you are still in the air, the message will be waiting for you as soon as you switch on your phone. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
